The all-island inter-school tennis 10s will be held from October 20 to 23 at the SLTA courts Sir Marcus Fernando Mawatha. This event is held after a two year break due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The event conducted by the Sri Lanka Tennis Association (SLTA) will be played from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and a whopping 1,300 kids through 121 teams from all corners of the country are expected to participate.

In addition to the main draw, the organizers have also planned for some fun activities for the kids present at the SLTA, to ease the pressure off of the young minds.
The main objective of this Kids carnival is to promote the sport of tennis in the country and to educate and motivate young tennis enthusiasts.
